Kenne Bell / Whipple truly a direct swap to an Eaton car?

[chief455]

I read the other thread, and nobody directed the INSTALLATION question, only opinions about looks and whine.

With an Eaton swap already done and proven, will the KB 2.6H or Whipple 2.3L Cobra kit really swap directly on - hardware and belt routing wise on a Marauder with Eaton and Jerrys brackets?
Any COT issues? All TB, throttle bracket, cruise control and sensors fit directly on where Eaton comes off?
Stock Cobra long block power limit, not going for highest boost.
KB 2.6H

Whipple 2.3L

$3350 vs $3600, seems potential gains or posted output are about equal.

Is one proven to be better quality than the other?
Are the claims of 'reduced intake heat and % power used to drive the unit' true?

Everything should plug n' play. When you put a whipple or KB on an Terminator you just swap the blowers. Done everything clears.

If it clears now. It should with either of those blowers. However I don't know hood wise. I think Zack might know.

An 03/04 cobra Whipple blower will fit anywhere an 03/04 cobra eaton blower was.

Problems you can run into:

-Top hose on the Intercooler water adapter may need to be modified/changed
-COT clearance issues depending how it was modded.
-Re-doing some vacuum lines in the back of the blower.

seems easy enough to resolve.
Anyone retain EGR with either blower? On a Marauder?
